PPC cards, RTG cards, A4000's, SX-1's, ten a penny on eBay!

...well not quite. But it used to be only every few months that an A4000 would appear on eBay. SX-1's and RTG cards would appear even less frequenntly, and PPC cards (particularly for the A1200) were ultra-rare highly sought after items that would appear maybe every three to four months and would get a flurry of excited bidding activity within just the first few hours. But now eBay is full of them, and that's just the UK site! Even the Holy Grail of A1200 expansions, the 240MHz PPC603e with 50MHz 68060, isn't particularly rare at the moment (I've seen two on eBay in the last couple of months).

Is this a mass-exodus from the Amiga for those of us that remain, or a sudden effort by everyone to sell their aging Amiga hardware to finance an upgrade to newer modern "Amiga" hardware such as the A1 or Pegasos? Or just coincidence perhaps? Thoughts anyone?
